Renewal of Enforcement
of Act to Mitigate
Mooted.
ON BOARD OF HEALTH
ORDER OF BUSINESS
ARGUMENT IS FOUND IN IN
CREASE OF DISEASE IN HO
NOLULUTHE BOARD'S
RESPONSIBILITY.
'The Ait to Mitigate," was the first
Item on the order of business for the
meeting of the Uoatd of Health which
was not held for lack of quorum )es
terday Dr Sloggett, president, said
this morning that the Item was enter
ed on the order at the request of a
lay member of the Hoard. There had
been considerable discussion latch
however among medical men upon thti
subjert It was beyond all question
that disease had grcutl) Increased In
Honolulu since the law had been voted
to bet-omc a dead letter. In conse
quence there was a strong disposition
to revive the enforcement of the law.
1 he measure had been in operation
here almost from time Immemorial,
withstanding efforts to repeal tt made
at every successive Legislature, About
a year ago an Injunction against tho
maintenance of the Iwllcl stockade ef
fectively destroyed tho policy of tho
police authorities to segregate the evil.
As that pollc) was regarded essential
to the purposes of tho Act to Mitigate,
the Hoard of Health forthwith voted
to abolish the medical Inspection of
subjects. Contributing to that deci
sion was the Judicial declaration that
tho Edmunds Act was lu force here,
as It applied to all Territories of tho
United States, and under that law. It
was thought, the evil could not be offi
clatl tolerated ns It tacitly was
through certificate) of Inspection
which were popularly regarded as li
censes. However, under the public health
sluatlon that has developed slnio tho
law was abandoned, medical men and
otheis believe thit an effort Bhould tin
made to renew the system of regula
tion In this opinion some of the fed
eral officials Join The Inteiests of tho
Army and Nuv) here are urged as oni
argument
As to tacit countenancing of viola
tion of the Edmunds Act Involved, the
question bus been raised as to whether
the Hoard of Health should not have a
frca and Independent hand in protect
ing the public health, leaving entirely
to the police authorities tho responsi
bility for the suppression of dim
whenever and how over It may appear
The position of tho Inland Revenue
service Is quoted as analogous to that
which the Hoard of Health should sus
tain in respect to polite patters. Wher
ever the revenue officers discover tho
making or selling of liquor they simply
demand the tax for tho particular
branch of business, but the law protects
them from being compelled to tcstliy
In the courts against any payers of
such tax who may be prosecuted for
conducting the particular business con
trary to local pollre laws. Tho certi
ficates of payment of tho Intcrnil Ilev
enue taxes in such eases aio debarred
ns criminating ovldrnce against their
holders and tho popular naming of
such certificates as 'Tcder.il liquor li
censes" Is erroneous Tho officers do
not license the making or selling of
liquor but tax It, and the tax receipts
cinnot be used as defensive any more
than tonvlctlng evidence.
